Briefly explain why an unbalanced chemical equation cannot fully describe a reaction?

1 answer:

5 0

From the conservation of mass, matter is not created nor destroyed. So ponder it this way, for example I put one piece of toast in a toaster, but when it is done I had two pieces, that makes no sense right? Same thing with a chemical reaction but in molecular terms, all things must stay constant. If you put a convinced amount you have to get that quantity back, not less or not more in broad terms.

Which member of each pair is more soluble in diethyl ether? Why? (c) MgBr₂(s) or CH₃CH₂MgBr(s)

White raven [17]

CH3CH2MgBr is more soluble in diethyl ether .

We know that polar solvent dissolve in polar solvent very perfectly . as diethyl ether is a polar solvent so it have dipole -dipole interaction .

Hence the compound with similar interaction can dissolve in diethyl ether .

Here , MgBr2 is an ionic compound . there is ion-ion interactions occurs which is not similar to dipole -dipole interaction in diethyl ether .hence the solubility of MgBr2 in diethyl ether is less .

but in case of CH3CH2MgBr there are both polar and nonpolar end .CH3CH2 is the nonpolar end and MgBr is the polar end .

thus with the nonpolar end solute interact using depression forces and with polar end solute interact using dipole-dipole interaction . so CH3CH2MgBr is more soluble .

A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. She carefully weighs out 192.mg of oxalic acid H2

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The molarity of the NaOH solution is 0.076 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of oxalic acid = 192 mg = 0.192 grams

volume = 250 mL = 0.250 L

Molar mass oxalic acid = 90.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

H2C2O4 + 2NaOH → Na2C2O4 + H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of oxalic acid

Moles oxalic acid = 0.192 grams / 90.03 g/mol

Moles oxalic acid = 0.00213 moles

Step 4: Calculate molarity of oxalic acid

Molarity = Moles / volume

Molarity = 0.00213 moles / 0.250 L

Molarity = 0.00852 M

Step 5: Calculate Molarity of NaOH

2 Ca*Va = Cb*Vb

with Ca = Molarity of oxalic acid = 0.00852 M

with Va = volume of oxalic acid = 0.250 L

with Cb = Molarity of NaOH = TO BE DETERMINED

with Vb = volume of 0.0558 L

Cb = (2*0.00852 * 0.25) / 0.0558

Cb = 0.076 M

The molarity of the NaOH solution is 0.076 M

1. T or F? An electric field has strength, but no direction.

Anastasy [175]

1:False, it has both

2:Electric potential is the amount of work done to bring the unit positive charge from infinity to that point, while electric potential energy is the energy that is needed to move a charge against the electric field.

3:Towards

The nonmetals in Groups 5A, 6A, and 7A...

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The nonmetals in Groups 15, 16, and 17 form ions with charges of 3-, 2-, and 1-, respectively.

Explanation:

The elements of Group 18 (the noble gases) have a complete valence shell of eight electrons.

It is easier for the elements of Groups 15 to 17 to gain three, two, or one electron(s) to get a complete valence shell than it is to lose five, six, or seven valence electrons.

Thus, they form negative ions with charges of 3-, 2-, and 1-, respectively.

The charges do not correspond to the Group numbers of 15 to 17 or the old (pre-1990) Group numbers of 5A to 7A.
